Barrier Prioritization Surveys - WRIA 15
|
The Pierce Conservation District is in the process of completing an inventory of fish passage barriers in the andromous zone of East WRIA 15. Over 140 structures have been identified, with 56% of those determined to be barriers to fish passage. The next step is to prioritize those barriers, so higher priority projects can be adressed first. Prioritization is conducted following WDFW protocol as described in the Fish Passage Barrier Assessment and Prioritization Manual, and involves completing a field habitat survey of stream reaches above fish passage barriers to determine the quantity and quality of available habitat. Prioritization also considers species utilization, stock status for species utilizing the stream, and project cost. The result is a Priority Index (PI) score, which can be used to directly compare priorities of proposed projects. PI scores on some culverts identified by the Conservation District identified culverts in the Puyallup watershed have been used to rank projects for the 2000 construction season. After prioritization has been completed, the top ten barrier culverts will be addressed and preliminary design work will be completed. The prioritized list will also be available for Enhancement Groups, Conservation Districts, Cities, Counties, and other entities to use as a project list from which to work.
